ABOUT ME I have a bachelor degree in biology and nearing the completion of my medical degree with further plans of specializing in surgery. Right now I live in Kazakhstan, with future plans of lots of travelling. I'm kinda geeky, sometimes get really interested in random topics. I'm nerdy when it comes to study, but communicative and outgoing when it comes to partying. I am friendly and easy-going, like listening to people's stories and share mine. I like learning new languages, since it helps meeting new people and travelling. PHILOSOPHY Enjoy your life, be curious, learn new things, meet new people

Music, Movies, and Books

I really enjoy watching movies, especially some long series like Star Wars, X-Men... well any Marvel thing, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Disney classics, most of Studio Ghibli... Currently I'm more into TV series like Game of Thrones, Hannibal, Walking Dead, American Horror Story, Friends, TBBT, HIMYM, Spartacus, Tudors etc

Regarding books, I like reading in general. Prefer to read some fantasy series like the Song of Ice and Fire and Vampire Chronicles. Don't really have a favourite author, try to cross out as many classics of my "must read" list as I can. Also enjoy reading scientific articles concerning my field of study, and when it comes to other scientific topics I prefer popular literature. Have some interest in phycology and general studies of the mind and brain.

I have a broad taste in music. Mostly it is indie, british rock, alternative... Something like Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian, Kaiser Chiefs, The Vaccines, The Kooks, Interpol, The Black Keys, Rammstein, Oomph, Lacrimosa, Amanda Palmer, Linkin Park, Hadouken, Elvis, MJ, Puscifer, The National, The Wombats, The Strokes, Kings of Leon, Dead Man's Bones...many others

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
